The traditional mechanism of protecting a business via branch office based security solution is no longer applicable due to a major shift towards remote work. Our SSE solution breaks the physical perimeter based security and allows security policies to be applied wherever the end user happens to be. Our team is building a public cloud based SSE solution, which is unique to the entire industry. We are innovating at a fast pace to resolve performance challenges across the data plane, control plane and management plane. We are embracing leading edge technologies at a rapid pace to elevate our end customer experience.
